Senor De Los Cielos Anejo Cristalino Tequila
Senor De Los Cielos Anejo Cristalino Tequila is the brand's aged-and-clarified añejo: 100% blue agave tequila (NOM 1489) rested in single-use American white oak, then run through four careful filtrations to strip the color while keeping the barrel's gifts — vanilla, coconut, and oak — inside the glass. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), 750mL, it drinks silky and full-bodied: canned fruits and cooked agave on the nose, a soft vanilla-coconut-oak palate, and a long, clean finish. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Aged Tequila That Drinks Like Crystal
Cristalino is the paradox of the tequila world — an añejo with the color taken out. Señor De Los Cielos achieves it the traditional way: real barrel time in single-use American oak, then a four-stage filtration that clarifies the liquid to a bright crystal without evading the softness and aging character the oak put in. What stays behind is the añejo's depth with a blanco's brightness: silky, clean, and built for sipping. Shop more tequila or browse everything from Senor De Los Cielos Tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Retailer consensus: the nose offers a range of canned fruits over cooked agave; the palate is soft and rounded — vanilla, coconut, and oak from the single-use barrels, balanced by the filtration's clean edge; the finish is long and clean. Silky body with silver-and-gold depth behind the clarity.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat at room temperature to catch the barrel character, or pour over a single large cube. The vanilla-and-coconut softness also plays well in a lighter take on an Old Fashioned with agave syrup.
